Summary We have described the project on which this follow‐up is based. We have indicated some of the problems we have had to overcome in implementing a single follow‐up for the several distinct phases of 10 years of counseling alcoholics and their non‐alcoholic spouses. We have described the procedures, results and problems of our follow‐up attempts. In critically evaluating the problems we met and the ways in which we have coped with them, we have also indicated directions others might take to minimize such difficulties.
